GOD - Love

上帝 - 慈愛

God loved us when there was nothing good to be seen in us and nothing good to be said for us.

縱然在我裡面毫無良善,亦無一言足以稱道之時,上帝仍然愛著我們。

God loves each one of his people as if there was only one of them to love.

上帝愛著每一位祂的子民,如同對世間僅此一人的鍾愛不渝。

God's love is not lazy good nature, as a great many think it to be and so drag it in the mud; it is rigidly righteous, and therefore Christ died.

Donald Grey Barnhouse

上帝的慈愛可不是所謂爛好人的個性,就像不少人以為的,這樣的個性讓上帝越陷越深以致於寸步難行;事實上,上帝的慈愛出於祂不變的公義,也因此基督必須死在十字架上。

Our great matters are little to God's infinite power, and our little matters are great to his Father love.

Donald Grey Barnhouse

我們以為足堪誇口的在上帝無限能力中根本微不足道,我們以為無足掛齒的,在上帝的慈愛中卻是何等重要。

God loves to smile most upon his people when the world frowns most.

Thomas Brooks

當世界讓上帝的子民緊皺眉頭時,上帝的慈愛卻對他們展開歡顏,解開他們心中困頓。

The only ground of God's love is his love.

Thomas Brooks

上帝慈愛的唯一根基就是上帝的慈愛。

God would not be holy if he were not love, and could not be love if he were not holy.

William Newton Clarke

上帝若非是聖潔則非慈愛,而若非是慈愛,亦不足稱為聖潔。

God's love is always supernatural, always a miracle, always the last thing we deserve.

Robert Horn

上帝的慈愛常超越自然,常是出乎意料的神蹟,更常是我們唯一值得得到的東西。

There is no human wreckage, lying in the ooze of the deepest sea of iniquity, that God's deep love cannot reach and redeem.

John Henry Jowett

沒有任何深埋在邪惡深海淤泥的世人殘軀是上帝慈愛無法達到及拯救的。

Divine love, unlike human love, is not dependent on its object.

R. B. Kuiper

神聖之愛非比世人取決於所愛對象是否值得的愛心。

God is love, and law is the way he loves us.   But it is also true that God is law, and love is the way he rules us.

G. S. Lee

上帝是愛,律法是祂愛我們的途徑。說上帝是律法,其實也沒錯,而慈愛就是祂管理我們的方法。

God's love is not drawn out by our lovableness, but wells up, like an artesian spring, from the depths of his nature.

Alexander MacLaren

上帝的慈愛不是被我們值得愛的特點吸引出來的,而是從上帝的本質中,就像不斷湧流的工匠巧思。

It is the love of God that makes him the sworn enemy of sin.

G. Campbell Morgan

上帝的愛讓祂成為罪惡誓不兩立的敵人,

The love of God does not measure you by eyesight.

Frederick Sampson

上帝的慈愛不是用目測來度量你。

There are no changes in Jehovah's love, though there may be changes in the ways of showing it.

C. H. Spurgeon

耶和華的慈愛永不改變,改變的或許是祂彰顯愛的方式。

God chose us for his love, and now loves us for his choice.

John Trapp

上帝因著祂的慈愛揀選我們,如今因祂的揀選而愛我們。
